I’ve got a feeling the tour would have been more successful if there had been more actors from the ‘Shane and Angel’ era. I would pay to go and see:- Debra Lawrence and Dennis Coard Tempany Deckert Daniel Amalm Shane Amann (where are you?!) Lisa Lackey Nicola Quilter Tristan Bancks and most important of all, Matthew Lilley so he can finally give us closure on what happened to Rob!

BEST Episode 1707 - ‘When Will You Fall For Me’ by Vika & Linda, when Shannon is getting ‘dolled up’ before heading to Shane’s house to try and seduce him. Works really well for a teenage girl having an unrequited crush. Trust me, it’ll all end in tears. WORST Episode 1880 - ‘Dangerous Game’ by Kylie, when Angel scatters Shane’s ashes in the sea. For me, it just doesn’t work - too ‘slinky’ and overdramatic for a scene that’s supposed to be very moving. Maybe something more plaintive and melancholic, along the lines of ‘Throw Your Arms Around Me’. And why was Damien roaming the spot where Shane collapsed like a detective trying to solve a murder? Cut his finger, no spleen…case closed! What are your personal best and worst uses of music?

At the end of Episode 1876 - Shane says to Angel, “I’d never leave you…ever”. After he has just had a coughing fit.

Surprised this song wasn’t played on the jukebox (‘cross-branding synergization’, as business-types call it nowadays)… Oh, and you can thank me for this morning’s earworm. Honey Dip girl, driving me KRAY-ZAH!

Not so much a storyline, but the scene in Episode 1725 when Chloe’s Dad calls Jack a ‘w**’ was a real sit-up moment. #differenttimes

The British dance act Love To Infinity were constantly on the jukebox circa 1995/96 - any one of these three singles… https://youtu.be/_7RCRFdm7r4?si=zR2DpdkPjBzGYo3R https://youtu.be/yXjsgnOQXFA?si=lnHy_5Qd64ONLZdc https://youtu.be/xSLLS9fcLaY?si=3ambL_UoF37Co8IA
